About Sage & Simple – An Expat in Denmark Blog

In 2010, I scored my dream job and the chance to live in Europe. Sure, rural Denmark wasn’t my first choice, but always a restless Aries, I packed all of my favorite things into a shipping container, grabbed Opie, my faithful feline companion, and left my simple life in Connecticut to find out if Denmark really is the happiest country in the world. Overnight (literally), I went from blogging about simple living to writing an expat in Denmark blog that was soon recognized as Denmark’s Top Expat Living Blog by InterNations and ExpatsBlog.

I bought an old apartment near the sea. I painted the walls eccentric colors, filled it with fabulous vintage things, and traveled as much as I possibly could!

In 2015, I left the job that brought me to Denmark, and started my own consultancy.

From 2013 – 2017 I had a whirlwind romance with an English expat who I thought was the love of my life. He proposed in Bellagio overlooking Lake Como, with an Art Deco sapphire and diamond ring. We eloped to Gibraltar a few months later. In the autumn of 2016, we bought and began the restoration of a mansion block city centre apartment here in Aarhus, the happiest city in the world.

Then, less than three years into our marriage, he decided without warning that he didn’t love me anymore. I suddenly found myself divorced, self-employed, living in a foreign country, and standing in the smoldering pile of rubble that used to be my life. So I did what I’ve always done. I took charge of the situation. I bought myself a quirky little vintage apartment at the other end of the city, and got on with my life.

Not just another expat in Denmark blog, Sage & Simple is a diary of my life in Connecticut, my move to Denmark, my eight years of living here, my doomed love story, its aftermath, and a chronicle of my feelings and experiences along the way.

In September of 2018, I decided to stop blogging. My business is expanding more than I could’ve dreamed, and this next phase of my life is meant to be lived privately. I’m still on Instagram from time to time…
